Came back in a plain brown box with a label that read like a confession and a number scrawled on the side like a case file nobody wanted to touch. Another RT95 from the returns pile. Another problem child.
So I brought it in. Put it under the lights. Asked it a few questions. At first, it clammed up. Wouldn’t take a codeplug. Wouldn’t play nice with the software. Just sat there… powered on, but stubborn. Like it knew something I didn’t.
But in this line of work, you learn a few tricks.
One factory reset later… and suddenly it was singing like a choirboy on Sunday morning. Turns out, this one wasn’t broken after all. Just needed a fresh start and someone willing to dig a little deeper than the RMA department.
